I am worried that future generations will be paying for the mistakes of our generation for a very long time. Someone, sometime will get the bill for all of these bailouts and I probably won't live long enough to even see the full effects of the higher taxes they will have to pay to reduce the deficit we created. Furthermore, I am worried about the economy mainly because everything we have tried thus far has not had the intended consequences. The bank bailout has not loosened up credit for consumers or small businesses. The auto bailout merely generated more lay off and early retirement offers as well as plant closings. Unemployment continues to escalate and in my area, so do foreclosures. But, in the end, it is each individual's responsibility to care for themselves and their families well being. So, educate yourself, it is the only gift you give yourself that no one can take away from you.
